Cacao coconut doughnuts

Luke & Scott's Clean Living doughnuts.

Traditional doughnuts are deep-fried and rich in wheat flour. These are made with coconut flour so they're still sweet and delicious, but much better for you.

Ingredients:
Coconut oil to grease the plan, plus 1/4 cup extra to serve
Four eggs (organic or biodynamic if possible), at room temperature
1/4 maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut flour
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar

Method:
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees/180 fan-forced.
Grease a 12 hole doughnut cake pan liberally with the coconut oil.
Whisk the eggs, maple syrup and extra oil together until well combined.
Stir in the coconut cream, vanilla, flour, cacao powder, bicarb and vinegar until well combined.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked.
Rest in the pan for three minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
Dust with the extra cacao and serve warm or at room temperature.
